I personally haven’t turned on a hotel room TV in over a decade.
You may have to turn them off more than you have to turn them on.
Even HPs may have TVs that are on when I get to the rooms.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the use of hotel room TVs has declined as people run up the amount of time spent on personal, portable electronics.
Given what kind of stuff passes for acceptable at expensive ski resort accommodations, HP TVs may even come across as more contemporary.
Hotels investing in more plugs to charge things may be a better investment to satisfy guest desires than to replace an old functional flat screen TV with a newer one. But then as the TVs increasingly may even replace the room phones as a means to communicate with the hotel staff, perhaps they will come around to update them anyway.
